Christmas without Crime.

Christmas without Crime.

Dear Resident,

Christmas is a time for giving, unfortunately it is also a time for taking! But if we can follow just a few small actions, then hopefully, we can reduce Crime over the Christmas Holidays.

Christmas Home Crime Prevention Advice (UK)

Keep your home safe this festive season with these essential tips:

Lock All Windows and Doors: Double-check every entry point before leaving your home.

Avoid Leaving Gifts Outside: Visible parcels can attract burglars and make your property a target.

Use Smart Plugs and Light Timers: Create the illusion of activity by scheduling lights to turn on and off at realistic times.

Secure All Entry Points: Don’t forget garages, sheds, and side doors—inspect and lock them properly.

Suspend Deliveries: If you’re away, pause regular deliveries or ask a trusted neighbour to collect them.

Keep Valuables Out of Sight: Store gifts and expensive items away from windows or glass doors.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy a safe and worry-free festive season. Stay alert, and if you notice suspicious behaviour, inform staff or contact the police immediately.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to Everyone!
